The proposed Gulfton Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a 4.1-mile dedicated bus lane connecting the Gulfton community to key job centers in the Galleria, Downtown Houston and Texas Medical Center. Designed to provide fast, reliable service, the project will serve major residential areas and important community destinations such as parks, health services and community centers.
METRO, in partnership with the City of Houston, Harris County Precinct 4 and the Gulfton community, secured a $1.2 million planning grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to develop a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Plan for areas along METRO's proposed Gulfton Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. The planning process will result in a comprehensive TOD strategy focused on enhancing mobility, housing and community development in one of Houston's most transit dependent areas.
Status: The project is currently in the project development stage with 30% design completed.
